Do you love travelling to natural places? Let's begin our exploration in Shennongjia, a place as beautiful as Zhalong.
Thousands of years ago, in the south of ancient China, there lived Shennong, a man who had an ox head and a human body. Seeing that local people were suffering from disease, he built houses on a high mountain to store hundreds of medical plants. To remember him, people named the place Shennongjia.
The legend makes Shennongjia in Hubei a great place for tourists. Travelling there is a special experience, as you can see the beauty of the four seasons from different heights. “When the bottom of the mountain is summer, the top is spring and while the foothill is autumn, the top is covered with ice,” local people say about the special climate of Shennongjia.
Shennongjia is also home to 5,000 kinds of animals and plants. Many animals in danger live there, such as the golden monkey, the clouded leopard and the Asian black bear.
One interesting and mysterious thing about Shennongjia is its legend of wild men. Some people once said that they saw big prints or big-foot creatures. Yet so far, scientists haven't proved(证明) it and some say they are just bears.
The beautiful place has recently received a new title. On July 17, 2016, Shennongjia Forestry District was added to United Nations World Heritage List as a natural site.

你喜欢去自然景区旅行吗？让我们开始探索神农架吧，那是一个和扎龙一样美丽的地方。
几千年前，在中国古代的南方，住着神农，他长着牛头人身。看到当地百姓饱受疾病之苦，他在一座高山上建了房子，用来储存数百种药用植物。为了纪念他，人们把这个地方命名为神农架。
这个传说让湖北的神农架成为了一个旅游胜地。在那里旅行是一种特别的体验，因为你可以从不同的高度领略四季之美。“山底是夏天的时候，山顶是春天；山脚是秋天的时候，山顶却覆盖着冰雪，”当地人这样描述神农架特殊的气候。
神农架还是5000种动植物的家园。许多濒危动物生活在那里，比如金丝猴、云豹和亚洲黑熊。
关于神农架，一件有趣又神秘的事是它的野人传说。曾经有人说他们看到过巨大的脚印或者大脚生物。然而到目前为止，科学家还没有证实这一点，还有人说那些只是熊。
